Or, in other words, how to put a sting into spring.
I love, love, love that Spring has finally decided to make an appearance but that does not mean I'm leaping straight into summer dresses and frilly bikinis. So how better to toughen up a nice, bright outfit than with a couple of well placed studs and spikes?
New Look have got a great range of chunky necklaces in at the moment and I've been searching for a nice, spiky gold one to wear with an outfit I'm planning on wearing to an upcoming ball at uni. I love the blue triangle one but the colour would clash with what I'm wearing so I'm keeping an eye out for any others that take my fancy. If that fails, I'm definitely considering popping into Topshop to see if the spiky ball earrings are in store - such an easy way to go from girly to down-right gangsta. Nearly.
I'm sorry for such a short post - the first week back at uni is always a bit of a busy one and I'm trying really hard to get into a solid fitness regime which I'm looking forward to blogging about soon. Hope everyone else is having weather as nice as I've had the last few days - it makes everything seem so much better.

I prove, so often in life, to not be trusted with beautiful things. Beautiful, materialistic things I should add (my dog is alive and well and - I'm probably biased - beautiful too.) I got given a ring when I was born which I managed to break several years later; I got a bracelet as a small child which I later lost at a netball match; I got a necklace for my 21st which I broke the very day after and I got a ring also for my 21st which I lost a mere two days later.
Soooo, getting the cutest pair of Pandora earrings from my aunt, uncle and cousins filled me with delight and dread in equal measures. (Sounds dramatic, still very true.) I just can't help it - I'm a clumsy, slightly boyish person. Having said that, I absolutely love my new little earrings and I've been wearing them all the time.
In an effort to try and make these last at least until my 22nd birthday, I have (so far) been very good at putting them back in their box after I wear them and not just chucking them in my designated earring box which, very often, ends up tipped upside down as I rush to find a rare pair of matching studs.
These are the perfect size for my ears, which is unusual as my massive ears usually dwarf your average pair of earrings. These however sit nicely in my lower set of piercings and bar a couple of exceptions, have worn these little cuties every single day.
I was originally going to save them for special occasions but I figured with my track record, I might as well get as much use out of them before I lose/damage/break them in some way, shape or form. I had only asked for a few new pairs of earrings as an little extra present I thought my brother might have opted for, so I was incredibly touched to have received these. I just hope for once that I can make these last at least until the summer.
Challenge accepted.
